Vacation time!

Its time to find some sun!
From tomorrow till the end of next week, Yagoona will be closed.
It's time to drive south and find our place in the sun on the banks of a lake where we can put up our tent, sit back and relax.
You can still reach me by telephone though.
have fun

first pics of the new Goanna v2 base

Hi everyone,
I have the first of the Goanna v2 bases now.
This one is a large version meant for large Feuerschale (100+ cm)
Here it is shown with an XL Feuerschale (100cm)

And here I am cooking with an L Zen (90cm) Feuerschale and an M Barramundi BBQ on top of the Goanna Lv2 base.

Google +1

Hi Everyone,
I guess if you are using Google at all for your searching, then you have noticed this little icon that is next to search results.
Google calls it +1
It is the blue button to the right of the results and looks like this:

It is Googles idea to let people rate results in their searches.
You can see at the bottom that 2 people have +1'd my search result in google.
Me and my friend Howard. Thanks Howard

If you like my stuff and would like to show your support, I would be really happy if you put 'feuerschale' into google, and next to the Yagoona entry in the search results, you +1'd me!

Thanks
Alex

New Goanna v2 Base almost ready!

As some of you may know, I have been working on a new Firebowl base (Feuerschale Sockel)
This one is for those that want to BBQ.

The Yabbi base was designed for decorative fires. Its low profile design is perfect for sitting around with friends on cool evenings. I wanted it to be at the right height from the ground so you can tuck your feet under the bowl and keep your toes warm as well. For this it works well.
The downside is that the Yabbi Base is too low to cook comfortably.
Those of you who are using the Yabbi / Feuerschale / Barramundi BBQ combination will find that there is a lot of bending over while cooking. Not ideal.

I had developed the Goanna base some time ago addressing this issue and produced 6 units in total. These have all been sold to customers

Goanna v1 Sockel mit M Feuerschale und M Barramundi BBQ

The reason I discontinued this base is because its production was more complicated than I would have liked. Additionally I had not considered properly the shipping logistics behind this product and it became quite expensive to send to customers all over Switzerland.

On the Yagoona open day on 11.6.2011 where the last 2 Goanna v1 Sockels were sold, I was inundated with interest in this base. I vowed to myself to redouble my efforts to create a the successor to the Goanna Base (v2) just as soon as the dust following the open day settles.

Well the first prototype product unit is being laser cut as I write this post.
Tomorrow I will be collecting and testing it.

Stand by for the next post where the first glimps of the Goanna v2 will be shown.
